Photographer's Note

An idyllic tropical beach on Cadlao Island, easily reached by Bangka boat (a Filipino outrigger canoe) from El Nido town, on the Palawan Island mainland. There are a couple of bangkas on the beach. The snorkelling here is pretty good, too. I've dodged the shadows, & burned in the highlights, for a more even exposure overall.

Cadlao Island is just one of many tropical islands in the gorgeous Bacuit Archipelago. Tours A, B, C & D depart El Nido at 9 am, & return around 4 pm. They include a fresh fish & salad lunch, for a very reasonable 500-700 Pesos (about $12-15).

Superb place full of serenity! The POV is well selcetd and give a natural and very efficience framing. Good managment of light too wich give beautiful contrats and naturals colors.
Have a nice Sunday,

Hello Chris!

TFS - congrats,

Hi Chris,
a beautiful picture from a wonderful place, i wish i could be there at this moment. I like your fine Pov using the treebranches as a natural frame but also good for the depth. Furthermore beautiful colors and attractive water, Tfs !
Have a nice evening.

Wonderful photos from palawan! This makes me wanna go there! Love the natural framing you've created, its as if i'm peeping through a window here. The colors and details are wonderfully exposed. A lovely and enticing scenery.
